This is a collection of Novels I have read that truly stands out among the floating pile of garbage on the internet. Quality may vary... more>> from novel to novel and enjoyment is up to taste but no matter the novel here, I always thought to myself while reading, I am reading something worth my time.  <<less

Personal favorites that i think are well crafted from beginning to end.

my fav trope, just homies fighting together, protecting each other, and sometimes, ahem, almost kissing each other (they're married trust me i was the table)... more>>

Will not be including the three legendary novels {aka tr*sh count family, omniscient reader, and my S rank hunters, cuz at this point you should have read all of those already ( ☞˙ᵕ˙)☞}

Am i promoting my beloved novels to have more friends to fangirl about? yes. Am i ashamed of it? no. <<less

This list is a large part of who I am. ... more>>

Every read here is peak in some way, be world-building, concept, characters, power systems, and more. For instance, if it is garbage and completely braindead overpowered, it is one of the best in the genre at being so (you need some diversity in life in order for you to not get bored and feel apathetic about reading...it's terrible).

Take some ratings (especially outside the top 10-15) with a grain of salt, because it is hard to justify which one is better for the most part especially because some of the genres are so different. Some stories are not on novelupdates, like Mother of Learning and The Perfect Run to name a few. Also I'm lazy so it's not ordered the best lol

It's been almost a decade since I've started reading webnovels and I decided to make a novel updates account...I also love how every single translation site in existence is js disappearing :( <<less

This isn’t a ranked, just a list of novels I personally like. Whether they’re good or bad depends on your own taste. They’re all either Korean or Chinese, and most of them don’t include romance. ... more>>

mental health, thoughts, struggles, etc.  (angsty) <<less

Sometimes someone will be really really super into something. Call it what you will, but I find that passion captivating. These are works that are both good and passionately about a thing, I guess. Most people might find some of them frustrating due to an overfocus on the core concept of the story and diminishing attention on like, human relationships and stuff. I enjoyed these anyway. Strong overlap with sports. ... more>>

Liking ORV isn't just "no-romance male protagonist is self-sacrificial." What it's actually about is a love letter to art.... more>>
